    Filter For Betta Tank

    Where can I buy a sponge filter at? Do they sell them at LFS or Petcos? I'm having problems with filter flow on my Tetra 10 Gallon Half Moon Aquarium. The flow is way too powerful for my Betta's liking.

    Tetra 10 Gallon Half Moon Aquarium

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about Tetra's new Half Moon Aquarium. I recently bought it and my Betta is now in it. The current seems to be really strong and I'm wondering if there is a flow setting on the filter I have. I checked the manual but couldn't find anything. I...

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    I'm having problems again with this sand. I decided to do a water change because the water was still dark. When I tried to move the sand to distribute it more evenly throughout the tank, air bubbles began to form on the sand and clumps of sand began to rise to the top of the tank. Now there are...

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    Nice, picking up some easy cash I see. I have 2 Kribs but their colors are weak and it's upsetting me. I've had them for a long time now too, prolly since October or November. I bought them as babies though. They still aren't full size.

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    Thanks for your advice. I have 2 Corys in my 20 gallon tank that I plan on adding to this tank. Would they be enough to stir up the water for me so gas zones or whatever they are called that kill fish don't develop? I don't want my Betta to die, I bought this tank for him for as a bigger home...

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    In the future if I decide to rearrange the sand to make it more even in the tank will that cause problems like clumps of sand floating up to the top of the tank, etc? When can I arrange the sand like you do with gravel? I'm definitely going to run into this problem while adding decor/plants and...

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    Thank you for your help. I actually called a local fish store and they gave me the same advice about the plate. I will probably wait a couple of days and see if it clears on its own before trying it. As far as the air bubbles that are all on the foundation and on top of the sand, those will go...

    Help With Adding Sand To Aquarium, Pleaseeee

    Hi, I really need your help. I just added two 5 pound bags of black sand to my 10 gallon aquarium. I am setting up a new tank. I washed out the sand in a bucket before hand but the sand is full of air bubbles and looks somewhat clumpy at the bottom and the water is very dark (barely can see...

    Bumblebee Goby And Betta?

    Neale, Thanks for your help. I want to move him mostly because I'm struggling to feed him andi feel like he's going to starve in the larger tank where eating is very competitive and he refuses to compete. I use a turkey baster to feed him and he follows it around but my other fish are so...

    Bumble Bee Goby And Betta?

    Thanks DarkEntity. That's a reason why I want to move him as well, it's very hard to feed him and I'm using a Turkey Baster. My other fish are just such aggressive eaters, and he doesn't do anything to compete with them.

    Bumblebee Goby And Betta?

    Would it be acceptable to put 1 Bumblebee Goby and a Betta together in a 3 Gallon tank? Would they get along? Is 3 gallons too small for 1 Bumble bee Goby? He's in a 20 gallon tank right now and it's crowded with bigger fish. He often appears timid and shy, rarely coming out. Any help would be...

    2 Corys In A 3 Gallon Tank?

    This may sound like a really stupid question but I have 2 Corys living in a 20 Gallon tank. I recently added Kribs to the tank and they have been picking on the Corycats. The Corycats don't seem as happy or active and I'm just looking out for them. Would it be acceptable to move the 2 Corys to...

    Does Your Betta Have His Own Personality?

    My Betta is the man! He has as much personality as a dog. I've been spending countless hours and late nights working on music compositions on my computer. My Betta's tank is on my computer desk right next to my computer. He sits and watches me for hours keeping me company on that side of the...

    Betta Will Only Eat Frozen Bloodworms!

    Good news! I crushed up the pellets into smaller portion sizes and he ate them right away. I noticed he had a harder time swallowing the bigger sized portions while doing this. He didn't seem as hyper or excited but still, he ate them. Thank you all for the help!

    Betta Will Only Eat Frozen Bloodworms!

    I've never tried crushing up pellets, but I have put Flakes in there before. He ate them and also spit them out I believe. I will wait 3 days to feed him then. I have been feeding him bloodworms every other day for the past 2 weeks because he rejected everything else and wouldn't eat for like a...

    My Betta will only eat frozen blood worms. I've offered him normal Betta food bites/pellets and he won't eat them. I've had him for about close to a month and I don't know how to correct this problem. Anyone have any advice on this topic?

    Jellybean Parrots?!?!

    Threadfin Rainbowfish, Please Help

    He died this morning, but they looked red and inflamed. I'm thinking that he might have choked on something since they have such narrow throats.
